2022 Suzuki Boulevard C50SE Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2022 Suzuki Boulevard C50SE touring motorcycle, Suzuki pairs a 805 cc (49.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 53 HP (38.7 kW) at 6,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 69 Nm (50.9 lb-ft) at 3,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 65.8 HP per liter and a 2,800 rpm working window between peak torque (3,200 rpm) and peak power (6,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Boulevard C50SE measures 277 kg (611 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.19 HP/kg (5.23 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 700 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,655 mm (65.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15.52-liter (4.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 160 km/h (99 mph).
